This blend supports clarity, healthy circulation, and gentle renewal, making it perfect for anyone seeking natural focus and harmony.

Clarifying Herbal Tea Blend

*Ingredients (per 2 cups):*

- Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) – 1 tsp dried leaf. Long valued in traditional wellness circles for promoting mental clarity and supporting blood flow to the brain.

- Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) – 1 tsp dried leaf. Helps settle the nerves, reduces mental tension, and enhances attention without drowsiness.

- Schisandra Berries (Schisandra chinensis) – 1 tsp dried berries. Known as an adaptogen that helps maintain energy and endurance, while balancing stress response.

- Tulsi (Holy Basil, Ocimum sanctum) – ½ tsp dried leaf. Encourages emotional balance, supports the immune system, and naturally uplifts the spirit.

Preparation:

Steep all herbs in hot (not boiling) water for 10–12 minutes. Strain, inhale the aroma, and sip slowly. A touch of raw honey or lemon may complement the flavor.

Usage Suggestions:

Enjoy midmorning or midafternoon when attention wavers, or as a mindful pause between busy tasks. Drink regularly for lasting effects—these herbs build gentle resilience over time.

With each cup, you invite a quiet yet alert state—an inner steadiness that supports both clarity and calm. Sometimes, equilibrium begins simply by breathing in the steam and returning to yourself.
